Chapter 718: Sitting on the Mountain and Watching the Tiger Fight
After taking a few deep breaths in a row, Lan Haolin suppressed the urge to kill in his heart, because he knew very well that since someone dared to knock on his door at this moment, it was definitely not a trivial matter. In fact, there was not only a defensive formation in his dormitory, but also a soundproof prohibition, as long as it was opened, it was enough to block all the noise outside, but the reason why he didn't open it was because he was afraid that he would be so obsessed with cultivation that he wouldn't be able to hear the movement outside, and he would delay his business when the time came.
"Say, what's the matter?" Lan Haolin waved his hand, and the door of the bedroom opened by itself, and he asked casually after glancing at the henchman standing at the door.
Although Lan Haolin had suppressed the killing intent in his heart, his anger was still there after all, especially the eyes just now were even sharper, which really startled the henchmen standing at the door, and subconsciously knelt on the ground, raised the information in his hand, and said: "King Qiqi, Yunhuanhu was attacked by Baishi City, and the first line of defense has been breached......
"How come!?" Lan Haolin didn't wait for the henchman to finish speaking, he had already snatched the information in his hand, and he was stunned and angry after glancing at it.
"Xia Fan, this is incompatible with you!" pounce on ......" Lan Haolin was enraged, and the qi and blood just now were not completely stable, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out.
After vomiting blood, Lan Haolin felt a little more comfortable, at least the irritability in his heart was much better, but after he picked up the information and looked at it carefully, he suddenly had the urge to scold, because he knew very well that today's night attack was not sudden, Xia Fan must have been planning for a long time, and he and Lu Chuan had already been in cahoots. Now that Xia Fan is attacking Yunhuan Lake, this is clearly to occupy his own grain and grass production area, so Lu Chuan on the other side will definitely not be idle. What will he do?
Thinking of this, Lan Haolin's qi and blood churned again, so he didn't spit out a mouthful of blood again.
"Is there any movement on Lu Chuan's side?" Lan Haolin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked what he was most worried about.
"There is no information yet. The henchman knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Go, send the generals to me, and say that I have something important to discuss. After Lan Haolin sent his henchmen away, he took out two spirit jades and recorded two letters in them with divine thoughts, which were addressed to the master of Hehuan Shinto, Hetian Ancestor, and the lord of the Divine Eye Country.
Lan Haolin was well aware of the importance of Yunhuanhu to him, and he even understood what kind of situation he and his soldiers and horses would face if he lost this important supply of grain and grass, as well as the people of the Blue Jade Kingdom under his rule, so he couldn't give up there no matter what.
At this time, Lan Haolin actually regretted that he really shouldn't have been caught up too much by Lu Chuan on the frontal battlefield, so that he forgot about Yunhuanhu, so that since Chu Jiangpo's death, he has never sent a stronger general to preside over the overall situation, so that at this time, it is still the original commander of the defenders who is there.
Now Lan Haolin only hopes that his remedy can still have a certain effect. And the reason why he wrote to the Hetian Ancestor and the Lord of the Divine Eyes Country was that on the one hand, he wanted to ask the former to help kill Xia Fan, this was a poisonous plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, as long as Xia Fan died, the people around him would be completely dispersed, and the crisis of Yunhuanhu Lake would of course be completely solved. On the other hand, he asked the latter to help by sending troops and horses to help contain Lu Chuan, so that he could draw more troops to reinforce Yunhuanhu.
As soon as he thought that his current strength was overstretched, Lan Haolin couldn't help but be angry: "Damn Xia Fan, if he hadn't killed Hehuan Shendao and ruined our original plan, why would I be worried about the lack of troops. Fortunately, I didn't completely pin my hopes on Hehuan Shinto, and I secretly borrowed some troops and horses from some other countries to come over for emergencies, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.

Palace of the Holy Dragon King.
Long Xiaoshu was almost not much later than Lan Haolin when he received the information that Xia Fan led an army of 130,000 to attack Yunhuanhu Lake with all his might.
"This Xia Fan was really hit by me, he is indeed ambitious and has good means, I think that this attack on Yunhuanhu is mostly to take revenge before Lan Haolin calculates him, it is really a retribution. When he takes the Yunhuan Lake, he will have an abundant source of food and grass, and it will not be long before he will grow into our fierce enemy. Long Xiaoshu flicked the information in his hand and muttered to himself.
"Your Majesty, you want me to kill him and eradicate this great trouble for the king. The person who came to deliver the information prostrate at Long Xiaoshu's feet, and asked respectfully, although the words were about killing, there was no killing at all, just like ordinary people said where to eat today.
"No, I don't have to. The current Xia Fan is not my confidant, and the one who really hates him should be my fellow Lan Haolin, and let them fight to the death first. With my understanding of Lan Haolin, he will not sit still, and there is also the guy with three eyes on the side, this good show has just begun, why should we rush to the end. When they are defeated, our domestic troubles will be almost dealt with, and then we will just clean up the mess under the banner of avenging the invasion of our country by Baishi City that day. ”
When Long Xiaoshu said this, he pinched his fingers, and the information had been directly shattered into powder: "Although Xia Fan has some skills, I will not let him have a chance to grow up, and if he becomes my henchman, I will crush him to death, as for Lan Haolin, it depends on whether he is interested or not." ”
"Your Majesty. ”
"Haha......"
............
Wei Zhong hurriedly walked into Lu Chuan's big tent, and when he handed over the information in his hand, he reported: "Xia Fan launched an attack in the early hours of the morning, and has conquered the fortress group on the south bank of Yunhuan Lake, and is now going deep into the hinterland of Yunhuan Lake. ”
"I thought he would drag his feet for a while, and still follow our butts like before, but I didn't expect it to be quite fast this time. Lu Chuan took over the information when he joked, and after reading it carefully from beginning to end, he said: "Pass the order, advance according to the original plan, don't be too anxious, especially in case the Divine Eye Kingdom suddenly joins the battle like before, and now the advantage is on our side, so there is no need to worry at all, as long as you attack steadily, you can crush Lan Haolin to death." ”
"Yes. ”
............
When the eyes of all forces converged on Yunhuanhu, especially Xia Fan, he was not in the army, but was strolling around the territory of part of Yunhuanhu that had been taken by his own side.
Since taking Baishi City, Xia Fan has set his sights on Yunhuan Lake, so he has done a lot of intelligence work, and has made a quite detailed understanding of the terrain, river distribution, and hydrological conditions of the entire Yunhuanhu Lake basin, and even created a fairly accurate sand table for reference when formulating an attack plan. It's just that looking at the map and sand table, the feeling is definitely different from really standing on the land of Yunhuan Lake.
Especially what Xia Fan and Jinsu were going to do, they also had to walk through the Yunhuanhu Lake and see it thoroughly.
"Elder Zhan, do you think my idea can be implemented smoothly?" Xia Fan stood by the lake, looking at the vast lake in the distance, and asked casually.
After a night of fighting, the sky was already cloudy at this time, and when the sun first rose, it sprinkled a brilliant light on the Yunhuan Lake, shining on the surface of the lake sparkling, which was extraordinarily magnificent, and at the same time, the sky was also scattered because of the clouds and mist, and it looked like it was plated with a layer of golden light, and the scenery was also pleasant.
"Xia Daoyou is polite, just call me a formation, although the idea of Daoyou is whimsical, eclectic, but I think about it carefully, but I think it is wonderful, it can be called a big deal, if Daoyou really want to implement, the old man is willing to contribute a modest effort. Jin Su looked at Xia Fan with admiration, his voice trembled slightly, obviously how excited he was in his heart.
The matter discussed by the two was very simple, that is, Xia Fan was going to transform the entire Yunhuanhu Lake into a huge formation, and the formation was naturally quite in favor of this, but how to implement it was not something that could be said in a few words.
The strange topography of the Yunhuan Lake, with abundant spiritual energy and the surrounding rivers confluence with it, is indeed very suitable for arranging a large array. And long before Xia Fan, it was not that no formation mage had thought like this, but no one had ever been able to do it, the reason was very simple, it was really that the scope of the entire formation was too large. Its difficulty was actually much more difficult than the mountain protection arrays of some cultivation sects.
But no matter how difficult it was, Xia Fan decided to complete this matter completely. Because he needed a stable supply of food and grass, and at the same time, he didn't want to send troops to garrison here for years to protect the Cloud Ring Lake. Of course, the more important reason is that he has to guard against the threat from the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
You must know that not only does the Blue Jade Country and the Holy Dragon Kingdom share a part of the border, but the Holy Dragon Country also has a river that flows into the Cloud Ring Lake, and even the border between the two countries is divided by this river.
It is precisely because of this river that the Holy Dragon Kingdom can attack Yunhuan Lake through the river at any time and go to any part of the entire river basin through the river that extends in all directions. This is definitely not what Xia Fan wants to see, in order to prevent possible attacks from the Holy Dragon Kingdom in the future, he decided to take advantage of the fact that the Holy Dragon Kingdom has not yet planned to intervene in the Blue Jade Civil War, and first build Yunhuanhu into an impregnable defensive array.
And Xia Fan must be the master of this matter, but it is impossible for him to keep an eye on how to implement it, so he handed it over to Jinsu. This is also the reason why Xia Fan still carries a formation when he observes the terrain.
For Xia Fan to hand over such a heavy matter to himself, Jin Su was not dissatisfied at all, but was quite excited, especially after listening to Xia Fan's account of how he was going to arrange the big array and how to implement it, Jin Su was even more excited, and he couldn't wait to start arranging the formation immediately.
